 False Notions of Being
lex, Tuesday, Jul 24 2018, 7:48am
I will not quote Shakespeare so relax, if you know how.
I am -- as is obvious as I am producing this piece, however, I could also prove I exist by producing my Birth Certificate, a piece of bloody paper in which the State places more value/recognition than the living person. In fact if I was unable to produce a certificate of my existence the State would either not recognise me or consider me a criminal or undocumented alien though clearly, I am of this world.

The Real Reason the US Must [But Won't] Talk to Russia
Pepe Escobar via don, Monday, Jul 23 2018, 8:31pm
Future historians may well identify Russian President Vladimir Putin’s landmark March 1 speech as the ultimate game-changer in the 21st-century New Great Game in Eurasia. The reason is minutely detailed in Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning, a new book by Russian military/naval analyst Andrei Martyanov.

"Too Dumb to Know You're Dumb" -- The Dunning-Kruger Effect
Bobby Azarian via suzie, Monday, Jul 23 2018, 6:49am
In the past, some prominent psychologists have explained President Donald Trump’s unwavering support by alluding to a well-established psychological phenomenon known as the “Dunning-Kruger effect.” The effect is a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge. Or, stated more harshly, they are “too dumb to know they are dumb.” This simple but loopy concept has been demonstrated dozens of times in well-controlled psychology studies and in a variety of contexts. However, until now, the effect had not been studied in one of the most obvious and important realms—political knowledge.

 'Never, ever threaten the United States again': Trump lashes Iran
Carol Morello via gus, Monday, Jul 23 2018, 12:27am
Trump is in his element when he involves himself in a shit fight, this time with Iran, which nation is threatened by various forms of US led economic warfare as I write. Of course Iran's president issued a defensive warning, see previous post, which allowed Trump to do what he does best, engage in hot headed, idiotic verbal attacks, remember all the crap about North Korea and its leader? And what came of that "fire and fury", sweet fuck all! However, that is not the point the real story is about media DISTRACTION. Media consultants know that when in a jam, 'the Putin summit,' pull a fake crisis out of the bag of tricks and fascinate simple minds, after all Trump is the simple minded president for a simple minded rustic nation. So will the US population fall for it again and again? Of course they will, they live in a media-induced American dreamworld. (story and 1 image)

When the US Invaded Russia (1918)
Jeff Klein via stacey, Sunday, Jul 22 2018, 4:03am
Amid the bi-partisan mania over the Trump-Putin Summit in Helsinki, fevered, anti-Russian rhetoric in the United States makes conceivable what until recently seemed inconceivable: that dangerous tensions between Russia and the U.S. could lead to military conflict. It has happened before. (story and 1 image)

The Subversion of Reality by the Mass Media
rupert, Sunday, Jul 22 2018, 1:25am
Today media fiction is paramount, reality has not taken a backseat it has been effectively all but eliminated. A few ignored voices continue to state the obvious, like where is the evidence for all these repetitive media claims, none has ever been produced nor could it be for the obvious simple reason that none exists? If they had it they would produce it to emphasise and convince the masses their stories are accurate! It’s ALL media lies/fiction, ‘Russiagate’ being the foremost at this time.

Former CIA Officer: Clinton "Involved In Biggest Treason In [American] History"
Greg Hunter via jenny, Saturday, Jul 21 2018, 9:05am
Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says what Hillary Clinton did with her charity and Uranium One while she was Secretary of State was a crime for the history books. Shipp explains, “Hillary Clinton used this to launder money in foreign banks so it wasn’t subject to U.S. laws, congressional subpoenas or FOIA demands for the evidence. This was done to launder this money globally into the Clinton Foundation so the U.S. government could not examine it at all.”

Assange Likely to be Handed over to UK Authorities for Breaching Bail
denice, Friday, Jul 20 2018, 11:25pm
It is clear that the new leader of Ecuador is a puppet of the US, and I'm not about to give him any latitude though he faces financial blackmail and other political pressures, as these US tactics are well known and routine. So the full responsibility rests on Lenin Moreno's shoulders for not respecting asylum conventions and human rights, what a dog! (story and 2 images)

 The Sexual Passion of Winston Smith (1984)
Edward Curtin via janice, Friday, Jul 20 2018, 7:46am
There is a vast literature analyzing the political prophecy of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Big Brother, double-speak, telescreens, crimestop, etc. – all applied to our current political situation. The language has become part of our popular lexicon, and as such, has become clichéd through overuse. Blithe, habitual use of language robs it of its power to crack open the safe that hides the realities of life. (story and 2 attached files)

Trump's HUGE Backflip on Russia Stance
Finian Cunningham via steve, Thursday, Jul 19 2018, 10:55pm
It seems that Trump's political naivety has been cured; indeed, Trump has learned that the president of the USA is NOT the democratically elected boss; that US presidents lead nothing unless it conforms to the dictates and policies of the ruling, deep state elites. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding that he deplores the constraints imposed by the office he holds, I would imagine Trump cares less. He wants out but with some dignity, which currently seems an impossibility. And so, if Trump's unorthodox creativity is unable to remedy the situation, America would face a completely dog-whipped compliant puppet president -- which focus I would shift from the person to the OBVIOUS FAKE DEMOCRACY that America is forced to endure from unrepresentative and unelected oligarchs and plutocrats.
Whatever you may think, it is NOW abundantly CLEAR that powers other than democratic representation rule the USA. Good luck, dreamboats!

'Russia Did It': A HUGE CIA Concocted Media Hoax
Stephen Lendman via jason, Wednesday, Jul 18 2018, 8:32pm
If the CIA had its way Russia would be responsible for ingrown toenails. But to take a propaganda line from Hitler himself, 'if you're going to tell a lie tell the biggest lie you can think of and repeat it endlessly until it becomes the "truth".' Well, we needn't look too far to see who today's fascist BIG LIARS are.
Not at any time have the media, the CIA and other accusers produced any credible evidence of their claims and accusations -- that is cold hard FACT. The entire Russiagate hoax rides only on a raft of mass media LIES. Now ask yourselves, who owns the mass media and who does the CIA really work for? Answer: the DEEP STATE, otherwise known as the ruling elites. Nonetheless, if WE always INSIST on REAL incontrovertible EVIDENCE, the entire propaganda machine/exercise would FALL in a heap.

Yes, Junior, We Do Live in a Post-Modern World
nano, Tuesday, Jul 17 2018, 7:51am
For the uninitiated post-modernism is a no truth-reality world; truth/reality becomes what you make it. This approach of course empowers everyone though those that have access to media or prominence are most able to wield this chaotic, amorphous but ‘real’ disruptive power. And indeed, power it is, but not the formalised, hierarchical power structures that history has known prior to post-modernism. The reason being that post-modernism attacks and subverts the power dynamic between sign, symbol and meaning, for instance a picture, or any representation of a pipe (object) is clearly not a/the pipe/object!

Why Evidence Will Probably Never Be Produced in the Indictments of ‘Russian Agents’

The indictment of 12 Russian ‘agents,’ which included no collusion with Trump’s team, is essentially a political and not legal document because it is almost certain the U.S. government will never have to present any evidence in court. (story and 1 image)

Successive Oz Government Failures to Meet their Responsibility to Citizens in Trouble
darcy, Monday, Jul 16 2018, 12:00am
Sometimes I am ashamed to state I’m an Aussie as it usually results in all manner of criticisms regarding our obsequious governments that are supplied with knee-pads for all visits to Washington. ALL our foreign ministers, regardless of political stripe parrot American policies, disregarding international and local law while they do so, they are ALL slavish to the nauseating extreme to America -- a ‘fine’ state of affairs for a sovereign State -- absolutely DISGRACEFUL. Words fail to adequately describe the disgusting cowardice, servility, and at times, treasonous behaviour our politicians display openly. Well, like our American cousins, most Aussies are in denial when they witness these pathetic displays of servility and blind obedience to a criminal state that is responsible for more innocent civilian deaths, maiming, and massive social displacements since the turn of the century, than all other nations put together, FACT, verify for yourselves.
